I pulled my in-tank pump and tested it on the bench...sticking and stopping, does not run for more than a second or two. Tried the tap-tap approach with a wee hammer...no joy. Sometime back I installed an in-line pump atop the tank, but for some reason it would not lift. There are replacement...

The set had not been run in a couple of months. Fuel is fresh; tank is clean. It had been run at least monthly since I got it years back. It has ~120 hrs on it...Tier 2 re-set in ~'07. New batteries went it today and I started it. Noted no smoke from the near exhaust on startup. Smoke...

1-I might be in need of an in-tank fuel pump...TBD. I cannot hear it running, so I will pull it this week to get a look at it. I find only one used Parker 1c20-10 available, so I'd like to know if anyone has installed a Facet pump...https://www.facet-purolator.com/dura-lift/... instead? This...

The '73 M35A2C has been distressingly idle the last few years...many more hours at rest than driving. I typically fire it up and run it for an hour or two on a weekly to bi-weekly basis. Occasional it gets to 3-4 weeks. Replaced the batteries w/in the last two years and have been running it...

DayBreak started a recent [12 Apr], and quite interesting, thread in the Aux. Eqpt. forum that got me wondering. I sometimes need to start the whaleboat on the trailer, which, to date, has been living right behind the deuce. This has been a pita...charging/hauling/lifting batteries, and...

Is anyone in the vicinity of Rickenbacker? I could use a remote pair of eyes and a tape measure during the next couple of weeks. bill

I need an inspection done at WPAFB. If anyone is going to preview anything there, I'd appreciate it if they could take a look at it. PS Don't let my wife know!

Sometime back I wired from the 003 into a box mounted onto the frame of my scroll saw, which wants 6a per leg. At the 003 load terminals L0=green, L1=white, L2=black, L3=red. Cord wiring from the genset is into a slow HACR 10-a breaker, out the breaker to the SqD start switch, back down to the...

I just aquired a cylindrical 15.5-gal beer keg and am considering trying to modify, mount and use it for for aux fuel on the M116a2. I searched using permutations of beer, keg, fuel, and tank...no joy. There HAS to be someone out there who has adapted a keg to fuel tank use with a genset. I...

Been wondering about these ever since I got the truck. Anyone have any idea what they might be/have been for? First photo is next to the master cylinder inspection port. Second is aft of the e-brake handle. Third is the wall behind the springer.

For the moment, I want to try powering a 3ph scroll saw [in the process of bringing it back to life] with the 003 and am wondering what cord/plug set up to use. I will use the cord, in some fashion, in the future in a shop as well...eventually. The saw was built in July 1942 and is powered by...

I seek a source for the terminal adapters that connect each set of two wires to individual glow plugs on the 003. Tried Radio Shack with no luck. Newark's online catalog shows about 6 of what appear to be the correct type adapters; all brass, some tin coated. Of the ones for which dimensions...

My daughter spotted this someplace between Houston and Austin. Pretty whacked out!

I am wondering if anyone has used oil and fuel filters other than Fram, Napa, or Wix. Cross-ref tables provide a multitude of other manufacturer numbers...Baldwin, Donaldson, Fleetrite, Purolator, et al. Just a quick scan of crosses for the CH6PL shows that dimensions can differ a little. The...

Picked up a saw at Ft Sam last Monday. Two calls to the GL person for driving directions got me to his door. GL says site is on 15th St...nope. It's Engineer St. Took about a minute to sign the forms and get out the door...new league record. No pre-GL clearing as I didn't use the...

Having read many of the extremely informative genset threads, I think that I might be able to start/run all of my 3-ph machinery using a 003A. Items of concern are: 1-~1923 GE squirrell-cage 5hp 220V/???a induction motor [12" jointer] ; 2-~1974 Reuland 7.5 hp 208/220/410V//21.2/20/10a motor...

Just seeking to establish a frame of reference while looking at GL gensets...3-10kw...re winning a crapshoot. Recognizing that bad news is generally more available and more often printed than good news, [see the following] SurvivalBlog.com: Search Results and having read many of the more...

Picked up the trailer at RRAD Monday AM. Total time to get in and out was about 2.5 hrs. GL lifted it for the hitch on the F150; nice young fellow. Checked it over rather hurriedlyly, nothing loose, missing, etc. Hauled it ~425 mi home w/o incident, althought I stopped every 50 or so miles to...

It's a little eerie. I've a perfectly good M35A2 sitting in the storage lot that hauls everything I have, and that I can pretty well keep up and take care of. BUT, I keep finding myself looking at an M925 that's not too far from me! I'm thinking that with the 14-ft bed I could haul enough...

Spotted this yesterday morning at Oschner Medical Center when dropping the spousal unit at her workplace; still there this morning. Pretty good shape. Check the hitch! SS member?
